About Youth Theater
Youth Theater of Altai (Barnaul) was born from a youth studio, founded in 1918. Komsomol members acted as actors. The studio did not have its own building, so the performances were shown in the palaces of culture and even in open-air parks. The studio received the status of a professional theater and its own building only in the 50s. It was originally called TYuZom. And only in 2000, he began to be referred to as the Youth Theater of Altai. And since 2013, he bears the name of actor Valery Zolotukhin.
The repertoire of the theater includes works for children and youth. In 2014, the troupe was headed by Irina Lyskovets.
Theater History
The Altai Youth Theater opened its doors in 1958. It was founded by L. Trukhin and G. Tomilin. The troupe was assembled from artists from different parts of the Union.
At first, the theater did not have its own premises, and he showed his performances in the club of the melange plant.
In 1964, the Youth Theater ceded the stage of the Musical Comedy, and he himself moved to the building of the Palace of Pioneers. This room was completely unsuitable for showing performances, but there was no choice. The theater worked in this building until 2011.
In the 70s. The post of chief director was held by Zahar China. Under him, the repertoire policy changed. Now in the theater, mostly heroic-romantic works were staged. These were plays about friendship, dreams, exploits.
In the 80s, M. Bychkov became the main director of the theater. He enriched the repertoire with new interesting productions of classical plays and the works of playwrights of the time.
Many performances of the 80-90s had a very happy stage fate. They gained popularity, for a long time remained in the repertoire and were recognized by the audience.
Very big changes in the life of the theater took place at the beginning of the 21st century. Here the repertoire was updated again, the directors had new creative ideas, the actors began to grow actively in a professional sense. The modern era dictates its own rules and requires theaters to expand their repertoire, showing performances for spectators of all ages. With the beginning of the new century, the palette of vibrant productions for children and youth was replenished with works for an adult audience. At the same time, the troupe was replenished with new young cadres who are ready for any tasks. Experiments often take place on the stage of the theater, directors find modern forms of work in order to attract the attention and interest of critics and the public. All this helped the theater to start a new life.
The collective turned from Youth Theater into the Youth Theater in 2000. 3 years after this event, another, no less significant, happened. The famous actor Valery Zolotukhin was invited to the post of artistic director. Under his supervision, the target course of future actors was recruited to the Academy of Culture of the city. Students, while still studying only in the 1st year, took an active part in theater productions. They played episodic and major roles. And after graduation, the entire issue was accepted into the troupe of the Youth Theater.
In the past 10 years, the team has been actively glorifying the Altai Territory, Barnaul at competitions and festivals in other cities of Russia and abroad.
In 2011, it finally happened what artists and spectators had been waiting for so long. The youth theater received its own building. In June, the grand opening of the new "house" of the troupe took place. Previously, the premises belonged to a recreation center. By 2011, it was restored, rebuilt for the needs of the theater and donated to the former Youth Theater.
The building now meets all the requirements of the team and is equipped with the latest technology. Its discovery coincided with the anniversary of the artistic director - Valery Zolotukhin. In honor of this event, the first performance, which was shown on a new (own) stage, was Bumbarash. It was the role of this character in the film that once brought glory to Valery Zolotukhin.
Another very necessary object was built near the theater building - a dormitory for its artists and other employees. Now those who came to work in the former Youth Theater from other cities will not have a problem with housing.
The artistic director of the theater Valery Zolotukhin was until his death in March 2013. 2 months after this tragic event, the Barnaul temple of art was named after him.
In 2014, the director of the theater was Irina Lyskovets. Thanks to her, new specialists appeared in the troupe - choreographer, directors and artists. The cast was also updated, young cadres appeared. With the advent of Irina Vladimirovna, a new stage began in the life of the theater.
Today, the former Youth Theater has three stage venues - Big (Main), Chamber and very small, called the "Fifth Corner." The main hall is designed for 465 spectators. The chamber holds 156 seats. A "Fifth Corner" can take no more than 50 spectators.
